Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients in order to help establish the cultural heritage and archaeological implications of a proposal for a development at the above site The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Ten magnetic anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features. Of these two very likely represent former field boundaries mapped by the Ordnance Survey between 1888 and 1907. One and possibly two may represent former tracks or routeways although one of these may be an expression of historical ploughing recorded as parallel trends in the survey dataset. One anomaly group displays characteristics that can represent a scatter of heated material. Given the proximity of three Bronze Age barrows to the application area, this deposit is considered to be of potential archaeological interest. Two groups are most likely to relate to past field boundaries or other enclosures of unknown date. A further two groups represent either stony deposits or rubble and are most likely to have a relatively recent origin. |
